Intermediate Award in Employment Law
What is the Intermediate Award in Employment Law?
The CIPD Intermediate Award in Employment Law is a four-day course from Workplace Law Human Resources designed to give students a comprehensive introduction into the legal framework that underpins effective HR policies around employment relations.
This unique Workplace Law course is ideal for busy professionals who need an underpinning knowledge of employment relations law but are not able to commit the time to academic study such as a Masters Degree.
The CIPD Intermediate Award in Employment Law is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) as part of its new qualifications framework. The unit content replaces the Certificate in Employment Relations, Law and Practice, which has now been withdrawn by the CIPD.
